I haven't had trouble with mine cracking. I've left mine out for extended periods of time. The plastic is faded, but not cracked. I like this one better than the top fillers.
After about 2 months of UV rays the plastic starts to break down, becomes brittle & starts cracking. The same thing occurred with the ones used indoors, but it took close to a year for those to break down enough to crack.
